Dr. Gianleo Duca (in tie), Ballston Spa School District superintendent, speaks at this morning's Rotary meeting.
Duca addressed various issues, including key and related district goals of enhancing parent engagement and ensuring students get in the habit of actually attending school. The district is working with Hudson Valley Community College to push education for the trades, and is concerned about a persistent problem of student homelessness.
There was discussion about transportation, and the cameras with audio on school buses which are there to prevent bullying. He expressed concern about the state's electric vehicle mandates for buses. One issue is that the district would need more space to park its fleet (currently of 86), because of the danger of fire spreading from one electric vehicle to another.
